Hello! I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Minnesota. I have been working in the mental health field since 2014. I graduated from Southwest Minnesota State University in 2014 and began working in a residential treatment center. I started graduate school at the University of South Dakota. I graduated in 2016 with a Masters of Social Work. I then worked in a hospital setting for a short period of time. After that, I went to work at an outpatient mental health clinic in Southwest Minnesota which I have continued working at since. I really enjoy my work and having a positive impact on peoples lives. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, trauma, abuse, bullying, relationship issues, parenting, addiction, teen concerns, life changes and concerns that arise during adjustment periods. My therapeutic style is person-centered, yet relaxed and non-threatening. I will work to build a healthy and beneficial therapeutic relationship with you. I treat everyone with respect and compassion. This includes meeting the client where they are and work on things they feel are most important or impacting them the most. I mainly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is short term and goal oriented. CBT helps clients recognize negative patterns of thinking and behavior that impact their lives and works to provide healthy ways to challenge these thoughts and behaviors. With CBT, it is important to recognize these patterns, which may include me challenging your thought processes and behaviors. Overall, my therapeutic style is based on what the client needs/wants, which we can discuss as we move forward. It is a big decision to reach out to receive help, you should be proud of yourself for taking this step and realizing you deserve more. I am honored to be able to help you with your concerns and reaching your goals. I am excited to chat with you and can't wait to help!

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, licensed in the state of Minnesota. I have been in private practice for 8 years now. Clients I have worked with have diagnoses from depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders and personality disorders to name a few. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My counseling style varies depending on each individual client. I make every attempt to treat clients as a whole person, not to divide a person's life challenges as separate from the person. This is helpful to see that a problem can be resolved by relying on other strengths of the individual. I will use humor and normalizing as tools to help clients as well as skill building and self compassion as tools the clients can use to help themselves when they are ready. I do not shy away from challenges and I know that reaching out for help is scary and going into a place of unknown. I look forward to walking alongside clients as they journey through the process of starting to live their best life. I will be your biggest cheerleader, loudest advocate and strongest defender as you go through the challenges and triumphs of counseling.

I am a licensed clinical social worker/therapist licensed in Minnesota with over 10 years of clinical experience and 21 years of professional experience working with people facing a variety of personal barriers or struggles. I am also a MN Board of Social Work approved clinical and non-clinical, licensing supervisor. I have been blessed, working with clients ranging from young children to the elderly dealing with varying issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues to anger management, family issues, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, incarceration, and disability related concerns to name a few. I have a lengthy & robust career working with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and facing a broad range of challenges. I have worked almost exclusively with individuals who have serious mental illness for the vast majority of my professional career. My counseling style is empathetic and goal-directed. I believe that approachability, focused listening and effective problem solving is the key to success in a therapeutic relationship and every client that I am blessed to serve will feel heard and empowered to achieve their goals. Being treated with dignity, respect and compassion are also the tenets that I abide by and will display that in every interaction and intervention. My approach combines a variety of theoretical perspectives designed to meet your needs, including solution-focused brief therapy, strengths therapy, and cognitive-behavior therapy to ensure that the highest level of outcomes are achieved as outlined by a unique treatment plan that will be tailored to your needs. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a plethora of experience in acute care settings. I received my MSSW degree from Columbia University in New York City.

As a therapist, I am warm, attentive, encouraging, and entirely conscientious. I pride myself on combining my life experience, expertise of multi-methodologies, education, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, pragmatic approach to counseling.

Hello! I'd like to say congratulations to you on taking the first step towards asking for a listening ear, receiving advice, or whatever other outcome you're looking for by signing up for BetterHelp. I know it can be a vulnerable decision to make but I'm here and ready to help how I can. This entire process only works if I start by supporting you where you are at today. My style is casual, warm, direct, and patient. I work primarily using a person-centered focus and approach which means you always come first and we focus on where you are at currently. If you aren't ready to make life changes that feel big to you, that's ok. We can take as long as you need through working together so you feel comfortable and confident. You might not want to share too much about yourself right away and that's ok too. Part of having a person centered approach means I trust that you are the expert in what is best for you and I am simply here to help guide you towards the goals you are trying to achieve by fostering the strengths you already possess. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with my Master's in Social Work in 2014 and have been practicing in the field ever since. I have my license in clinical social work (LICSW, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) which means I can practice in a clinical or non-clinical setting independently. My experience has been primarily working with the aging population and very often working with people who have depression and/or anxiety. I've worked with a wide variety of cultures and populations in my 6 years within the field. I love learning from the people I have the opportunity to work with and I value being a part of their support system. I am comfortable interacting with you in whatever format you prefer: live chat, video, or phone calls. The majority of my availability to provide support and consultation will be on weekday evenings. If I sound like a good fit for you, I can't wait to get to know you more! If not, that's ok because you know exactly what kind of support you need and I know you will find the right match for you.

I have a Masters degree in Counseling and hold a current License with the Minnesota Board of Psychology. My approach in working with people is to try to help them understand how thoughts, behaviors and emotions interact and to look for ways to re-think the situation, create new behaviors, and to improve their emotional state to allow for better coping mechanisms. I like to work together to define the issues and establish goals toward resolving them. Along the way we would keep checking in about the difficult emotions that may come up during the process and look for ways to deal with them. I also like to help people look for ways that they can use what is being learned here to help when other life issues arise (as they always do!).

Through out my clinical career, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns for the past 5 years including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress management, trauma, family and parenting I approach therapy from integrative evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. I am passionate and committed to serving marginalized and under-served communities.
